Thrash metal band from Los Angeles, California, USA, formed by guitarist/vocalist [a251808] and bass guitarist [a374278] in 1983. Part of the "Big 4 of Metal" along with Metallica, Anthrax, and Slayer, Megadeth helped popularize thrash metal in the 1980s. After numerous line-up changes, Megadeth found stability with their most well-known lineup of Dave Mustaine, Dave Ellefson, Marty Friedman, and Nick Menza for the 1990 release, [m=32937]. This lineup lasted until 1998, when drummer Nick Menza departed. During this period, Megadeth released four studio albums, including [m=32933], which is the band's most commercially successful album to date. After 1999's [m=33026], lead guitarist Marty Friedman left the band. Dave Mustaine later disbanded Megadeth in 2002 due to a nerve injury in his left arm. Following a year of physical therapy, Mustaine began work on what was to be his first solo album, yet contractual obligations forced [m=33085] to be released under the Megadeth name. After remastering and reissuing updated versions of the Megadeth back catalog in 2004, Mustaine decided to reform the band. Megadeth continued to have several line-up changes up through the 2020s, with Mustaine remaining the only constant member. Dave Mustaine announced on August 14, 2025 that Megadeth are working on their final album and global farewell tour, slated for 2026.
